Check this:

saskatoon:~ chuck$ grep bootstrap ~/Library/Application\ 
Support/WOLips/wolips.properties
wo.bootstrapjar=/System/Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications/wotaskd.woa/WOBootstrap.jar

wo.bootstrapjar needs to point to a file that is actually there.  If not, you 
get a WO 5.2 (or 5.1?) build.
